Mom Answers

There are not "often" complications in second pregnancies after an abortion. Get your facts from an actual medical source and not some fly-by-night religious pro-life group that tries to scare young girls like the above poster obviously did. Do openly discuss all facets of your medical history with your doctor, including your prior termination.

You're doctor needs to be aware of the previous abortion. You will be able to get pregnant again, but often there are complications when you've had an abortion before. If you tell your doctor about it, it's safer for you and the baby.
